PhD1 workshop

“Ethical approval? But I’m an artist!”” - Demystifying research ethics for arts-based research
with mark roughley

This session will introduce you to LJMU Research Ethics and Governance processes. This includes a discussion of what LJMU defines as ‘Minimal’ ‘Low’ and ‘ High’ risk research studies and what ethics process to follow for your own studies depending on its level of risk. We will take a look at some previous arts-based ethics applications, play a game, and have time to ascertain if you need ethical approval for your own research studies.

Developing the Context of your Research and Practice
with john byrne

A dynamic series of short, workshop, feedback, planning and feedfowrad sessions will also give participants an opportunity to reflect upon and review their own current ‘research as practice’ projects and, subsequently, to plan for short term points of publication, discussion and review which will help to develop the momentum and ambition of their overall project production for their MFA in Creative Practice.

Methodologies are the tools of our trade. They are the thing that gets us where we want to go, to learn what we want to figure out.

With playfulness and wonder, this workshop aspires to explore ways of knowing and working so that by the course's end, we will all appreciate the many ways we can ask questions and come to approach answers.

MFA seminar

Planning your Research and Practice – Using Goal Setting and Timelines as Fluid Tools for Change
with john byrne

Project Planning is, more often than not, seen as the ‘thing’ that can kill creativity. After all, how can you know at the beginning of a long-term research and practice project what you are going to do? However, this session will argue that setting clear, focused and achievable aims and objectives can act as a means to enhance and expand the range, focus and effectiveness of research and practice project.

Through a series of discussion, planning and feedback/feedforward workshops, this session will provide participants with an opportunity to creatively plan their research and practice projects forward to (and beyond) the duration of their MFA in Creative Practice, to align these to creative goals and ambitions, and to ‘think back’ from this point to identify what the next, small and concrete steps for achieving these goals might be.
